Wednesday's Premier League predictions including Man United vs. Sheffield United

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Wednesday's Premier League fixtures, including Manchester United vs. Sheffield United.


Burnley vs. Aston Villa (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

Burnley will endeavour to secure their third win on the bounce in all competitions when they welcome European outsiders Aston Villa to Turf Moor for Wednesday's Premier League battle.

Sean Dyche's men have propelled themselves up to 15th in recent weeks, while Aston Villa sit eighth, having played two games fewer than seventh-placed West Ham United.

We say: Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa


Aston Villa boast goals in abundance and have also become renowned for their clean sheets on the road this term, so this should be a more entertaining affair than the goalless stalemate back in December. Burnley's new-found confidence should serve them well in this fascinating battle, but we are backing the Europa League-chasing visitors to produce the goods and take all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

Chelsea vs. Wolves (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

Chelsea start life without Frank Lampard in the dugout on Wednesday when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

A 2-1 defeat to the West Midlands outfit back in December was the start of a downward spiral for Lampard, who was relieved of his duties on Monday morning.

We say: Chelsea 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers


It remains to be seen whether the new manager bounce phenomenon will be in play this week, and with Chelsea's team selection and tactics shrouded in uncertainty, this is a difficult game to call. Wolves will be desperate to take advantage of the hosts' volatile situation as they look to pull themselves out of their own rut, and we can see Chelsea's first game of the post-Lampard era ending with the spoils shared.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Brighton vs. Fulham (Wednesday, 7.30pm)

Two teams fighting for survival in the Premier League will face off at the Amex Stadium on Wednesday evening as Brighton & Hove Albion lock horns with Fulham.

The hosts finally managed to secure a long-awaited three points in the Premier League by beating Leeds United 1-0 on January 16, whereas Fulham suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last time out.

We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Fulham


Brighton are the only team in the Premier League yet to win on home soil this season, and we do not expect that to change against a more resolute Fulham outfit. The Cottagers were simply swept aside by Burnley in the FA Cup but will revert to full-strength for this game, as will Brighton, so a low-scoring draw could be on the cards at the Amex Stadium.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Everton vs. Leicester (Wednesday, 8.15pm)

Everton and Leicester City face off at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening, both aiming to maintain their impressive Premier League form.

The Toffees have won five of their last six top-flight games, while Leicester have won three in a row in the competition and are unbeaten in six.

We say: Everton 1-2 Leicester City


Everton won the reverse fixture and are seeking a third league victory in a row against Leicester for the first time since 1980.

The Toffees have been in good form, but they have had some mixed results at Goodison Park over the past couple of months and we can see away-day specialists Leicester prevailing.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Man Utd vs. Sheff Utd (Wednesday, 8.15pm)

Manchester United take on Sheffield United at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening in a clash between top and bottom in the Premier League.

The Red Devils head into the midweek round of fixtures sitting at the summit, while their opponents are at the foot of the division with one win from 19 matches.

We say: Manchester United 3-0 Sheffield United


Sheffield United fail to do well against Manchester United at the best of times, picking up only one point from their past eight top-flight meetings, and the sides' form this season could not be more contrasting.

The Red Devils are flying high at the top, whereas the Blades are bottom, so we can only see this one ending in a straightforward home victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
